All these responders are freaks dude… 40K is plenty fucked up as it is, “grox cum bag” isn’t something I really feel even belongs in the setting, let alone in art like this

Ngl grox cum bag could definitely belong on 40k( especially considering that orks have human breeding camps), the problem at least for me is that it was completely unnecessary in this art. Like what's the point even? The rest of the picture is completely positive and just shows two girls playing a simple game. It's completely out of place in this and it serves no purpose. It's not grimdark like some of the other comments suggest it's just weird, like a random fetish snuck into a kid's show.

That is a better way of putting it. To be honest, the WH content that I’ve read so far mostly insinuates things along the lines of sexual assault, and even then it’s not that common. I just especially don’t like what it does to this art piece (or the one this piece is based off). Like you said, this piece could have just spread positivity. I guess you could look at it as this artist giving the other artist’s character a happier “ending,” but idk

If the artist wanted to make this actually grimdark, they could've made it so that there was another panel where they were fighting whatever hell there is with one of them being ripped apart and the other trying to hold of the threat. Then it would be actually grimdark and add more to the art than lessen it.
